Traditionally the territory of medical students, the elective is now a tremendous opportunity for UK students of all disciplines - medicine, nursing and therapy - to experience healthcare provision in the developing world.

An elective in a mission setting gives you the chance to see what is happening outside the UK, to use your skills in new ways, to develop new skills and, above all, to see God at work in new ways in your life and in the lives of those with whom you work and for whom you care.

For details of current voluntary and short-term overseas opportunites, please visit the job opportunities page.

Please Note: CMF cannot organise your elective for you, nor do we help with elective placements in the UK.
